This is an opportunity to raise awareness of your group by cheering on the runners with your branded flags and banners! We also welcome road-side entertainment, so let us know if you can supply a band, choir or group of cheerleaders!

All of your volunteers will receive hi-vis jackets to mark them out for the day. The leader of the group will be required to attend a briefing ahead of race day.

We have 13.1 miles to cover and you will need a minimum of 20 people to gain the £250. This will be awarded in the form of a cheque to your group after the event by one of the ABP Southampton Marathon team on behalf of ABP Southampton.

There will be opportunities to showcase your club, group or cause as each of our ABP Mile Makers will have a blog post, pictures and posts on Facebook, Twitter on our e-newsletters.

Mile Maker Volunteer Groups: Mile Leaders are required to attend this session please and please bring as many adults from the group as possible. This session will include a full briefing, collection of the Mile Maker Group supplies box, and the cheque presentation photograph.

Mile Maker Individual Volunteers: All individual volunteers will be required to attend this briefing session.
